Base coat in acrylic, then you can use enamels (thin coats) safely. Enamels don't like to dry completely on soft plastic/rubber. Not even Krylon plastic fusion type paints in my experience.

Sanding away the rub spots at the joints is highly recomended too.


If you have access to Future Floor Polish, paint a thin coat of this over your figure before and after you paint it and you will have nice dry paint and almost no joint rub.

Prep is 90% of painting, sad but true.
